Chapter 450 Guests From Afar!
This voyage can be called a grand one. More than 20 million ships of various types, if you only look at the scene of the cluster setting sail, it is a complete torrent of steel.
The magic of wisdom and the power of technology are undoubtedly displayed here, which is the best embodiment of life conquering the starry sky with wisdom.
The use of magnetic propulsion makes more than 20 million ships of various types of mankind become like a huge ghost fleet. From the perspective of civilizations below level 3, this fleet has no thrust effect. It just accelerates slowly and irrationally, and finally sinks into the void.
If all the indicator lights on the exterior of all ships are turned off, it will look more like an iron shell without life floating in the dark.
Presumably, if it is seen by civilizations below level 3, it should also be amazed at this incomprehensible propulsion technology, and therefore have awe for civilizations with such technology.
When the fleet sank into the vast universe, it was also the time for Yue Yuan and others to hibernate again.
Level 3 civilization can increase its speed to 50% of the speed of light, but facing the vast universe, it is still too slow, and people have to continue to hibernate and spend a slow journey.
Hibernation of personnel means stagnation of scientific research, which can't be helped. This is not only a problem of human life span, but also the same for other long-lived races, because the slow time of crossing the galaxy is not just a problem of life span, but also a series of problems such as materials, energy, maintenance, and repair.
All intelligent life and creatures are awake to sail, which will cause great supply pressure on the fleet. The third-level civilization still has no way to solve this problem, or civilizations with insufficient speed cannot solve this problem.
Now humans can see only one solution, that is, warp speed sailing. The speed of light or even super-light speed can greatly shorten the time of each voyage. Only in this way can humans develop technology while walking. Now there is no way.
But it doesn't matter, because what humans have to do on this trip is to find the interstellar trading market to explain, and they don't care about these.
It stands to reason that the long voyage of humans has caused the stagnation of technological development, while the interstellar trading market brought in the star system has always had time to develop. When humans arrive at the target star system, they may encounter the rapid technological development of the interstellar trading market.
But it is not easy to upgrade to the fourth-level civilization level, and the great unification is not so easy to achieve.
Gradually, the human warships could no longer bathe in the light of this star. They went too far, too far, and even large-aperture astronomical telescopes could not capture their figures.
However, if you have the technology to detect the cosmic magnetic field, you will find that there are still some residual traces of the magnetic field where the human warship cluster disappeared.
If a civilization finds these traces, it can definitely follow the traces to find the location of the human warship cluster. However, this operation must be fast and can be touched, because after a period of time, this track will be erased by the universe itself.
Just like the wind and sand in the desert erase the footprints of walking through the desert.
The sailing time passed in a flash.
When the human timetable reached the 299th year, the awakening clock woke up the human beings. Being awakened from hibernation also means that the destination has been reached.
Two hundred and ninety-nine years is human time, not cosmic time. At this moment, the universe has passed 340 years.
This is the time dilation effect caused by 50% of the speed of light.
However, humans did not spend all of the 299 years in hibernation to travel, but stopped twice on the way. One was for supply and to let the residential spaceship cluster sail separately, and the last time was to find a star system close to the interstellar trading market and carry out a large supply there.
The star system where humans carried out a large supply is about 20 light years away from the star system where the interstellar trading market is located. In fact, humans did not come here entirely for supply, but also for resource development and warship construction.
Yes, when the human warship cluster completed the supply and left, a manned warship was placed here, the purpose of which was to allow the strong artificial intelligence on it to continue to build warships here as an unexpected backup.
The star system where the residential spaceship cluster went to was the rear area.
After everything was prepared according to the plan, the human warship cluster sailed towards the star system where the interstellar trading market was located again.
Yes, the interstellar trading market is still there, which seems magical, but it is not uncommon for interstellar communication, because an interstellar voyage takes too long.
If you want to do business with other civilizations, or pretend to do business, you have to stay in one place for a long time, otherwise other civilizations will come all the way here and find that there is nothing here, which is a big joke.
The interstellar trading market obviously knows this, so when the human civilization warship cluster arrived, they sent a welcome message to the human fleet just like they did to the Kobold Fleet.
The first fleet to receive the message was the first fleet, which was the fleet where the flagship Tianqin was located.
When the human fleet cluster was about to reach the destination, it split into three in the void. The other two fleets maneuvered in the void, circled a small circle, and entered from the bottom and top of the target star respectively.
However, the second and third fleets did not enter the star system directly like the first fleet, but slowly reduced their speed and waited for the first fleet to detect the results before taking the next step.
Similarly, due to the different division of labor between the three fleets, the first fleet is very assertive, sending electromagnetic wave information to the direction of the interstellar trading market while moving forward, while the other two fleets maintain electromagnetic wave silence.
Since the warships of the third-level civilization do not have bright tail flames, it is much more difficult to find them. Optical telescopes are basically useless, or it is considered embarrassing to wait for the optical telescope to see the opponent's warships.
Unless detectors wandering in outer space can detect it in advance, or see it through the traces of dust clouds like the previous human observation of Kuntai civilization, the encounter between the two sides will basically enter the effective range of the energy weapons of both sides soon.
Therefore, like the Second and Third Fleets, which are floating quietly, it is extremely difficult to find the interstellar trading market, not to mention that the First Fleet is a visible fleet to attract attention.
In the interstellar age, humans are still very talented in warfare.
"Visitors from afar, welcome to our interstellar trading market. Our interstellar trading market is not only affiliated with the great peace-loving Chiyan civilization, but also a member of the merchant alliance. Welcome civilizations from afar, the universe It’s really impressive how big it is. Almost a thousand years have passed, and finally another guest has arrived.”
This is the message that the interstellar trading market responded to based on the clear message sent by humans. It sounds like it is really welcoming and has met many civilizations who come here to do transactions.
But in fact, only they themselves know that since the broadcast until now, there have been very few customers who have come to their so-called interstellar trading market to do business.
